</span>It was good that it talked about how elearning and the benefits of it for students include ELL students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Of course with anything it had its disadvantages as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Some of the benefits I liked were about interaction as it gives a chance as it said for shy learners to participate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Also, the benefit of anonymity and equity for the students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It gives a chance for all students even ones with physical disabilities to being to participate in the classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The disadvantage that stood out to me was that teachers might experience technical problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Another disadvantage was that a teacher might find it difficult to meet all the needs of the students and their learning styles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The chapter then goes into different elearning tools that are useful as teachers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It showed a few and I think the podcast is a cool way for teachers to express lessons and it gives a student a chance to listen at there on pace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>All in all this was a good chapter that showed a lot of ways to interact with distance and students in the classroom.</div>Destiny Carneshttps://plus.google.com/100345761272950437975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682818922437048207.post-88276020024165270542013-02-25T18:06:00.000-08:002013-02-25T18:06:06.949-08:00Reflections of Chapter 5 & 7 <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Cambria;

</span>The chapter made me thinks of how I want to be creative in my classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The more creative you are than maybe it will keep the student’s attention and have them retaining the information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>I also liked how the chapter gives you four guidelines to follow to make your classroom have creativity opportunities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>One part that stood out was about you must “feed the senses”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This is a good way to think of how you prepare your lesson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Does it include trying to use all the student’s senses?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Teaching seems more effective if you can connect with all the senses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Chapter seven was about production where the students create a product focused on learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>This according to the chapter is just one type of learning where as a teacher will get to see an actual end result.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>This would be working on a project to build and learn about something.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>I thought the section on benefits were useful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It is good in this type of learning for the students to be able to have responsibility for their own learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>They have to plan and decide what they or their group are going to do to produce their product as a PowerPoint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Both chapters go hand in hand with trying to be creative when trying to produce a product.</div>Destiny Carneshttps://plus.google.com/100345761272950437975noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4682818922437048207.post-55780006001741731942013-01-30T18:50:00.001-08:002013-01-30T18:50:16.829-08:00My thoughts on chapter 2In chapter 2 we read about content learning. &nbsp;We learned that knowledge according to research can be broken down to three categories which are declarative, structural, and procedural. &nbsp;It went on to explain what is type is and an example of it. &nbsp;I really think the figure 2.2 on pg. 40 gave a great simple breakdown of what they are and how they go with each other. <br /><br />Something the chapter made me really think about was just how the technology would be physically in my classroom. &nbsp;With I mean will my classroom even have a computer and if so how many? &nbsp;I know most classrooms I have gotten a chance to observe didn't have any computers in it. &nbsp;The closest it came was a laptop the teacher used. &nbsp;The classes would each get time in a computer lab. <br /><br />The chapter went on to talk about different technology that can be used besides a computer such as whiteboard, overheads, and microphones to name a few. &nbsp;It talked about the different softwares that could be used for the different learnings. &nbsp;I liked the software they talked about from Tom Synder where the students have to make a decision and they do it several times to see the different outcomes from their actions.<br /><br />This chapter was about how to get you to start thinking making lesson plans and having them technology-enhanced. &nbsp;You have to think about how the technology will work with all students such including special needs and ELL students. &nbsp;I think the computer and certain softwares will benefit ELL learns by being able to use their language and English. &nbsp;The chapter also gave good guidelines to remember when making your lesson plans. &nbsp; I think with the United States being such a melting pot of different cultures it is good to remember guideline #3: &nbsp;Teach in a culturally responsive manner. &nbsp; It was a good chapter and one to look back on when writing future plans.
